In the south, ramp season begins in early Spring, just after the ground begins to warm. The first ramps of the year are young and tender with a slender bulb, barely the size of scallions. As the season progresses, the harvest moves north, where allium tricoccum is better known as the "wild leek." By mid-June, the green leaves have yellowed and fallen away and the bulb swells and mellows in flavor.

This recipe is based on the classic Italian recipe, "Cippolini Agrodolce" or sweet and sour cippolini onions. It's long been one of our favorite Italian condiments.

Ed Baker, Earthy Delights company president, suggested that we try creating our own version using one of our wild springtime specialties, wild leek (or ramp) bulbs. The tangy flavor of this wild member of the onion family seemed the perfect candidate for this type of preparation.

For those who love ramps, this is comfort food at its very best. Fast, easy and exotic. Frozen ramp bulbs can be used if fresh are out of season. Just thaw and blanch and continue with the recipe. Any pasta will do.
